“So that was Lexie, huh?”

“Yeah, that’s the ex.”

“She’s…charming.”

I want to bet that it was the only thing that Anna could say. She didn’t want to be mean, too sweet in her nature, but I could tell that she was bothered and that bothered me. I wasn’t used to caring so much, but maybe it was time to start.

“I know that she is a bit abrasive.”

She laughed because we were both trying to be nice, but it was hard to do with someone like Lexie. She was hard to like, and I knew how she was before, but I guess I didn’t see it like I do now. Now I see it for what it is, a damn mess.

“I am sorry about what she said.”

“Don’t be, she’s right. I am a stripper.”

“You were one, Anna.”

I wanted to tell her that I didn’t mind what she did before, but she just got mad.

“I’m not embarrassed about it like you are. I did it and I would again if it means a better life later. I just see it as a sacrifice, but I have a feeling this isn’t the last time I’m going to hear about it. Your people seem obsessed with social standing and money. Those are two things that I care very little about. I will help you with your brother and father, but this is only temporary.”

I think she was saying it for herself, far more than she was saying it for me. I knew that it was temporary, but a little while ago, when we were kissing, I was wondering to myself if it could possibly be more. I wanted it to be.

“I don’t want this to ruin our night. We were enjoying ourselves.”

“It was a mistake. I forgot for a minute what this was between us. I won’t do it again Scott. I’m tired and I’m going to go to bed I think. It’s been a long day.”

I watched her leave without another word, and I knew that I should have said something. I should have stopped her and told her that she was wrong, there was something more between us, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it. This wasn’t how I was and if she wanted to leave, then so be it. Right?

But I didn’t feel so sure as she went back into the house and she was out of my sight. That kiss was something. I know it was. I could feel it and I knew that if I wanted things to work out between us, I was going to have to keep people like Lexie away. I hope that she was taken care of now.

I stayed out, looking at the view, noticing that it wasn’t as nice alone anymore. I’d came out here almost every night for years and now all of a sudden, it wasn’t right. It didn’t feel right. It only felt right when Anna was with me.

I had to ask myself more than once, what had I gotten myself into?
